Key Features and Specifications
A lightweight, portable chair built to be pushed by a companion, simple to steer, fold, and lift.
Lightweight, 18 to 19 lb
One of the lightest chairs of its kind, about half the weight of a standard wheelchair, so it is easy to lift into a car trunk or carry up a step.
300 lb Weight Capacity
Supports users up to 300 lb on a sturdy frame, the same capacity as a standard manual wheelchair.
Four Small Wheels
Compact wheels instead of large rear wheels make it easy to push and steer through tight hallways, doorways, and crowded spaces.
Companion-Propelled
Built to be pushed by a caregiver or family member using the rear handles. It is not designed for the user to self-propel.
Swing-Away Leg Rests
Footrests come standard and swing aside, so getting in and out of the chair is easier and safer.
Wheel Locks on Both Sides
Set the locks before anyone sits down or stands up so the chair stays put during transfers.
Folds Compact
The frame folds down so it stows in a car trunk or a closet, easy to take along on any trip and easy to store between uses.
Different Widths Available
Transport chairs come in a range of seat widths and capacities. Call us with the user's measurements and we will match the right fit.
Sanitized Before Delivery
Cleaned and disinfected with a 75% alcohol-based solution at every contact point before it ships to you.
Transport Chair or Wheelchair, Which Do You Need?
The first question is whether the user will push themselves. A transport chair cannot be self-propelled, so someone has to push it. After that it comes down to seat width and weight capacity. Call (847) 696-6814 with the user's height and weight and we will confirm the right fit before you book.

| Wide Manual Wheelchair | Self-propel or a caregiver | Medium | 350 lb | A bit more seat room than standard, still easy to handle | $150 | $285 |

Why Rent a Transport Chair Instead of Buying?
A lightweight transport or companion chair costs about $100 to $300 or more to buy new. If you only need one for a few weeks, an event, or a trip, a rental costs a fraction of that.
| RENT FROM US | BUY NEW | |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront Cost | From $85, about $9 a day on a 30-day rental | $100 to $300+ in one payment |
| Delivery and Shipping | Free both ways | You pay shipping, or a store trip |
| Condition | Sanitized and inspected before it ships | Used market, unknown history |
| Right Fit | Swap width or capacity if it does not suit you | Locked into one purchase |
| Repairs and Upkeep | We service and sanitize it | On you to maintain |
| When You Are Done | Send it back, free | Storage or resale hassle |
| Flexibility | Extend or return anytime | Stuck with it |
For a few weeks of recovery, appointments, or travel, renting costs far less than buying, with nothing to store, repair, or resell afterward.
Rent NowIf This Sounds Like You, a Transport Chair Can Help
A lightweight chair that someone pushes for you, easy to lift, folds for the car, and simple to take anywhere, without paying $100 to $300 or more to buy one outright. Rent it for as long as you need, then send it back.
Pushing a Loved One on Outings
A transport chair is built to be pushed by a caregiver or family member. At just 18 to 19 lb it is easy to steer and easy to lift, so getting Mom or Dad out of the house is far less of a struggle.
Doctor Visits and Long Waits
Big clinics and hospitals mean long hallways and longer waits. A companion chair lets someone roll your family member from the car to the appointment and back without wearing everyone out.
Airports, Malls and Travel
It folds compact and lifts into a car trunk, so it is easy to bring along. Rent one for a trip, a long day at the airport, a museum, or a theme park, then return it when you are back.
Tires Easily on Long Distances
Some people walk fine at home but cannot manage a long mall, a fair, or a family event. A transport chair gives them a comfortable place to sit and be pushed when the distance is too much.
Short-Term After Surgery or Illness
While someone recovers and cannot walk far, a companion chair covers the gap. Keep it for a few weeks with help getting around, no reason to buy a chair you will only need briefly.
Try Before You Buy
Not sure a transport chair is the right fit? Rent first. See how light it is to push and lift, and whether it suits your routine, before spending $100 to $300 or more on one of your own.
Each Transport Chair Is Cleaned and Disinfected Before It Ships
You sit in the seat, hold the armrests, and rest your feet on the leg rests. So we clean every part before the next person uses it. Here is exactly how each chair is cleaned before it ships.
Remove Dust and Debris
Wiped with a dry soft cloth and air spray to clear dust and particles
Disinfect Contact Points
75% alcohol-based disinfectant sprayed throughout, especially armrests and wheel rims
Let It Sit 15 Minutes
The disinfectant is left to work for a full 15 minutes, then wiped down
Deep-Clean the Seat
Seats are brushed to lift lint, hair, and debris, then disinfected again
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before renting.
A transport chair, also called a companion chair, is a wheelchair designed to be pushed by another person rather than self-propelled. Instead of two large rear wheels it has four small wheels, which makes it much lighter and more compact than a standard wheelchair, easy to push, fold, and lift into a car. It weighs around 18 to 19 lb and supports users up to 300 lb.
Transport chair rental is $85 for 1 day, $100 for 3 days, $145 for 7 days, $190 for 14 days, $270 for 30 days, $345 for 45 days, and $420 for 60 days. On a 30-day rental that works out to roughly $9 a day. Every rental includes free delivery, setup and pickup, with no hidden fees. Call (847) 696-6814 for an exact quote on your dates.
A standard wheelchair has two large rear wheels with hand rims, so the user can push themselves, but it weighs 30 to 40 lb and is bulkier to lift. A transport chair has four small wheels, so it weighs only 18 to 19 lb and folds more compactly, but it must be pushed by someone else. For appointments, travel and short outings where a caregiver is there, the transport chair is far easier to handle.
A transport chair is built to be pushed by a caregiver, family member, or companion. Because it has four small wheels and no large hand-rim wheels, the person sitting in it cannot self-propel. If the user needs to move around on their own, ask us about a standard manual wheelchair instead, call (847) 696-6814.
The chair weighs around 18 to 19 lb, which is roughly half the weight of a full-size wheelchair at 30 to 40 lb. That makes it easy for one person to lift into a car trunk, carry up a step, or move around the house without straining their back.

The transport chair supports users up to 300 lb on a sturdy frame, the same as a standard manual wheelchair.
